I decided to treat myself to an Arduino UNO and wrote my first little program, this morning. Nothing amazing and certainly not optimized but figured other n00bs might like it to play with or use it as an example.

I personally used an LED for the output since my wife was getting annoyed by the buzzer I originally connected
